The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

LOL!! That is true of some many movies. And books. I'll be reading along, and, blam, there is a steamy scene that doesn't belong, doesn't move the story along, it's just there. what's up with that?

I didn't have to hear about crabs on the submarine in Enemy Below.

Marigolds are supposed to repel insects.

Huh...I never knew that! So planting marigolds in the cinderblock holes when using cinderblocks for a square-foot garden is about more than just makin' the border purty? I hadn't realized. Purty is a definite bonus, though...

Patience? Bah! Next you'll be telling me that patience is a virtue or some other nonsense.

Well, actually...

Ha! Probably not a bad idea...

Grr...if I had one more skein of that yarn, I could finish the yellow afghan today so's I'd have something warm for when we're watching Lost tonight. ;-) Only have seven more rows to go, but I'm pretty well out of yarn.

It's prolly a good idea to take some lessons first, so I don't end up shooting myself in the foot. *grin*

Yep. I guess insects don't like the smell. And at least some marigolds repel nematodes too.

Heh...this is true.

Though crazy-mother-with-a-gun is probably a pretty good deterrant whether or not you know how do do anything but brandish it. ;-)

LOL! True!

We're putting in $2 apiece at work today for Saturday's Lotto drawing. $54 million jackpot.

It's a fool's hope, but it's still fun!

Well the jury is out on how well marigolds actually 'repel' anything. They are strongly scented and the best read I can get is that they confuse the insects. I know that japanese beetles love the 'Flagstaff' variety (bonus points to anyone who knows why I just had to plant that variety - lol!) and it made it easier to pick them off and drown them in the coffee can of soapy water. But they left the peas alone.

They're such happy flowers. They make me smile.

(I was born in Flagstaff and went to college there. It is my most favorite town on Earth. )
